Gearing up for the Word Wrestling Federation title championship for 2006, the battles will be led into by a clash between the New South Wales and Queensland teams.

Reigning WWF title holders, Housecat Havoc are looking to flex their mental muscle against the OuTsideRS in a lemon lime throwdown of couplets, melodies and all things that break down a stanza.

On the side of New South Wales, Housecat Havoc will bear the full force of Citizen Tom, MC Zoe Zee, Sarah Mae and Bravo Child.

On the side of Queensland, The OuTsideRS consists of a band whose members include: David "Ghostboy" Stavanger, Suzanne "Spiritgirl" Jones, Julie Beveridge & Julez.

There are no promises of bloodletting or papercutting.
